Sarah,
It looks great. I think we have completed all of the parts to this assignment. Do you want me to email Laura and let her know we are finished?

Jeanine,
Not a problem about being away this weekend - enjoy yourself! Here's my SEA worksheet.

. I'll take a look at your ideas and combine them with mine, then post the final product.



Sarah,
Thought I would post what I have been doing...I will be out of town this weekend but I will be able to get online in the evening each day.

Part B: Map Discussion Q's

It really doesn't matter to me at all which other map we choose for the second part. I am not a map reader :)
I thought I'd a link or two just in case, but PLEASE if you find one you are comfortable with, then by all means post it on here.

[November 29, 1944], HQ Twelfth Army Group situation map. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?gmd:14:./temp/~ammem_PAYt::


[March 28, 1945], HQ Twelfth Army Group situation map. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?gmd:9:./temp/~ammem_PAYt::



Jeanine, I don't think we have to look at exactly the same maps for this section, but I did check out the two links you provided along with several others on the site. I think we just need to get an overview of the collection so that we can answer the three questions. I posted answers to #1 & 3 on the discussion tab. I saw that you already answered #2 - good job!

Sarah,
Oh OK. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :)

Part C: Map Ideas

Language Arts:
  • Students could use maps to write directions from Point A to Point B. This would help them understand how to be precise with their descriptions and writing skills.
  • When studying literature, maps of the setting could be provided to give students a visual aid.

Science:
  • Topographical maps can be used to study land formations.
  • Maps of the world can be used to study plate tectonics.
  • Using info about the area and the climate, they can predict what temperature would have been during that time and what natural resources, such as trees, could have been used for natural camoflauge.
Social Studies:
  • Learning to read a map using the map key
  • learn to use a compase rose
  • Maps that plot a region’s industries (oil, lumber, farming, etc) could be used to show where certain products are primarily found.


Math:
  • Maps could be used to formulate then solve mathematical equations (distance, area, etc.).
  • Using a key to figure out the mileage from one point to another.
